I can't agree with that. As a non-European, if I'm buying a translated work from a European author about a European character, I expect them to behave as ordinary Europeans would. I am paying for the authentic foreignness.
If I wanted to see people behaving as they would in my own culture, I'd buy a work from a domestic author.
